Cable Strain Relief with Cable Breakouts and Cable Transition

TE's Raychem heat-shrinkable cable breakouts and cable transitions offer strain relief protection for cable assemblies used in harsh environments. These cable strain relief products help prevent penetrating exposure from salt water, fuels, and petroleum-based solvents. Cable breakouts and transitions are available in popular “T” or “Y” shapes or with several openings for multi-branched cables, and with a variety of exit angles and branches to offer strain relief, sealing and mechanical protection for multi-branched cable harness assemblies.

Product Features:

Breakouts/Transitions

  • Abrasion resistance
  • Self-sealing for waterproofing (sealant coated parts only)
  • Mechanical protection 
  • Heat shrinkable for size range variability Ease of installation
  • Temperature and solvent resistant 
  • Strain relief  for cable break-outs 
  • Available in several sizes
